Chords

[Intro]
C              F
Listen all you people

F             G
Try and understand

C            F
You may be a soldier

F               G
Woman, child or man
[Chorus]
          C                    F
But there won't be many coming home

          C                    F
No, there won't be many coming home

          C        C7
Oh, there won't be many

      F          D
Maybe ten out of twenty

          C        G           C
But there won't be many coming home
[Verse 1]
        C
Now the old folks will remember

        F
On that dark and dismal day

          C
How their hearts were choked with pride

         G
As their children marched away

        C            F
Now the glory is all gone

F              G
They are left alone
[Chorus]
          C                    F
And there won't be many coming home

          C                    F
No, there won't be many coming home

          C        C7
Oh, there won't be many

      F           D
Maybe five out of twenty

          C        G           C
But there won't be many coming home
[Verse 2]
          C
Look real closely at the soldier

       F
Coming at you through the haze

       C                               G
He may be the younger brother who ran away

      C              F
And before you kill another

F                G
Listen to what I say
[Chorus]
          C                    F
Oh, there won't be many coming home

Oh, there won't be many coming home

          C        C7
Oh, there won't be many

      F          D
There may not be any

          C                    G
But there won't be many coming home
[Bridge]
        C                 C7
If they all came back but one

       F                   D
He was still some mother's son

          C        G           C
And there won't be many coming home
[Outro]
          C                    F
Oh, there won't be many coming home

          C                    F
Oh, there won't be many coming home

          C                    F
Oh, there won't be many coming home...
